Taylor Swift’s (USA) highly anticipated 15th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, posted some staggering figures on Spotify on its day of release, 19 April 2024. Led by “Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)” (25,204,472 plays, making it the most streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours), the album’s title track (19,089,937) and “Down Bad” (17,431,926), a total of 313,747,178 filtered streams were registered by the double album's 31 tracks. This figure combines the total number of streams for the standard 16-track album (232,260,493) and the additional 15 tracks on the double album edition, sub-titled The Anthology (81,486,685).
Spotify reported that The Tortured Poets Department was the first-ever album to log 300 million streams in a single day, and that it became 2024’s most streamed album in a single day less than 12 hours after its release.
The Tortured Poets Department smashed Swift’s previous record, set by her 12th studio album Midnights, whose 20 tracks were streamed 184,695,609 times on 21 October 2022.
“Fortnight” led a top-16 clean sweep for the standard album’s 16 tracks on Spotify’s “Daily Top Songs Global” chart on 19 April, with just one track, “Clara Bow” (9,564,186), failing to register 10 million streams in the 24 hours after the album’s release.
